Meet the Puritans

Meet the Puritans is an outstanding resource and an insightful introduction to the faith of the Puritans. It serves both as a guide to their writings and a glimpse into their lives.

Originally written by Joel Beeke and Randall Pederson in 2007, this second edition is a comprehensive revision, edited in collaboration with Fraser Jones. This is a landmark work that will last for generations.

This updated edition includes 45 new biographies (bringing the total to 190), 278 new summaries of Puritan works, and annotated bibliographies of modern reprints. You’ll find endless inspiration and from the lives and writings.

Fuel to the Fire

An additional 200 titles have been added to the select bibliography of secondary sources, along with a new, expanded glossary and an updated, expanded list of Puritan publishers. It is a fully robust and comprehensive resource.

The book covers a wide range of English and American Puritans, seventeenth-century Scottish Presbyterians, and divines of the Dutch Further Reformation. You’ll find motivation to live a godly life.

Whether you are new to the Puritans or already familiar with them, this book will ignite your interest—and for seasoned readers, it adds rocket fuel to the fire.
